There’s That

When it’s already late,
and you have to wake up early
to get to some job or another
or something,
but you have this manic jolt of creative energy
that needs to be
released,
what do you do?

You can stay up until dawn, go get a coffee
and get over it;
do some cannabis and try to sleep;
try to create at some demanding pace until you’re tired,
if you even get tired.

There are other options too,
but none seem ideal;
you can go kill yourself;
you can go break into some store;
have unprotected sex with a whore;
none of those are particularly good ideas
and I would not advise them any more
than I’d advise you to suicide bomb congress;
though I’m not going to be the one who stops you from doing that last thing
either.
